No, this is definitely 13th and F. It’s amazing that the current building incorporates the facade of the building in the foreground of this photo. Look at the street view from the google maps (link below).

Look at the Google satellite view of the current intersection. There is vast open space there, as if they were considering building a future circle. A circle could still be built today without much trouble. All of the buildings are located well away from the intersection.

Sort of a never-never land 19th century DC…. the Capitol has the expanded wings and the new dome (1863) but the Washington Monument is shown as complete, but in the original design, with the base colonnade that was never built.

He posts the same thing on other grainy images, where you are lucky to make out even a large building. See “knickers” post above. I think it is intended to pique our curiosity that there is an even higher res image in the image. There ain’t. And no knickers either, sorry.

Why would we NOT want to see this today, perhaps as a major parade on Armed Forces Day?! We could really show up the Russians on their Victory Day Parade, and we could use it as propaganda of our own to counter North Korean military parades. We don’t need to include nuclear missile launches or anything of the sort, just showcase the fleets of various bombers and fighter jets overhead while we roll tanks, trucks, armored personnel carriers, and mine resistant armored vehicles down Pennsylvania Avenue with our Army, Marines, Reservists and National Guard marching along with them. What is wrong with showcasing our military and showing our appreciation?! The American public would gain a newfound respect in this awesome display once a year. Trust me, it is badly needed for effect, at home and abroad.
